Guest JeffCR07 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have heard news from a friend at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary that the Holy Father has passed away. He died at 10:45 AM eastern time. Ask him to pray for us, as I am certain he is in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidei Defensor Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Wow. I shall wait for the Vatican confirmation though, but I trust your word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JeffCR07 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 of course, I know it hasn't yet hit the news, and even then, we should not say it is "official" until the Vatican has said so, but I thought it wise to give people some notice ahead of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 This isn't funny. How would they know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicAndFanatical Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 how would they possibly know that?? ugh, that makes me sick to my stomach. Papa suffered much just like the Blessed Mother said. May he pray for us when he is with Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudette Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) I'm sure if the Holy Father died, it would be on the news already, but it isn't. Edited April 1, 2005 by Dudette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagiDragon Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 they might not tell anyone if a mass was in progress for the pope . . . they may wait until the mass is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
